Looks like tomorrow morning will be the highest wind speeds to us. Not too bad though.

The coast over here may be hit , in my region warnings up to 80-90 km/hr (50 miles) for windgusts starting tuesday evening about 22 hour local time.

I've put the bbq in the garage

Can't say we get weather like that in Australia.

I have capture this from the Sanday WU, wind 90 gust

[steve]

90kph gusts are fairly common here, the wind is falling now. My highest gust today was 65 mph/105 kph, and even that wasn't a particularly extreme event for here. Quite high for October.

Thanks i ve seen it at the link of your signature, i was in London for 15 years was not like that really
My offset (maplin's) station would be off by now, the Davis seems doing good work

The Churchill barriers were interesting this morning - a bit on the splashy side and that was before the wind speed increased. We do get a lot worse here though.

If anyone else was puzzled by "Churchill Barriers" here is what they are http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Churchill_Barriers

Never ceases to amaze me what you can learn with a weather station
